Where else would the condensation go - unless your car is connected to the drains?
So its not two exhaust pipes, there's only one and a drain pipe - and that leaks as there's puddles under the car...

Let me tell you guys here in NYC we have just been burning up the past few days....As a matter of fact there was so much power usage from A/C's that the power lines were on fire!! no joke flames from the electrical poles and fire from the manholes under the street......Here's a pic from the good ole temp gauge in the e60:

My first time in the US was in August 1991 in Washington D.C. I was sitting in the heat and humidity in a traffic jam on the Beltway in a rental car driving from Dulles Airport to DC and saw water dripping from under a car in the next lane. I stopped the guy and told him he seemed to have a coolant leak He looked at me like I was some total moron from outer space...

Funny - to be fair I don't think anyone had AC in a car in the UK in 1991 - so this would be an easy mistake.
